Willie Moretti was killed in 1951, Richie took over that crew while Salvatore Chiri stepped down and his crew temporarily merged with Boiardo crew until 1952 when Carmine Battaglia was promoted to Capo of Chiri crew, the Chiri crew is an interesting one with Salvatore and Carmine swapping spots every year or two until 1957 when Battaglia was demoted for the longest time up until Tony Bender disappeared, but that is a different subject.
This is the known members of the Boiardo crew from 1951 to 1981 when Richie the boot stepped down.
Lorenzo Amato, Charles Arena, Carmine Battaglia, Tony Boiardo, Ralph Belvedere, Richie Boiardo, Joe Bonadio, Paul Bonadio, Joe Bufania, Pietro Campisi, Tommy Campisi, Tony Campisi, Salvatore Chiri, Emilio Delio, Tony DeVingo, Tino Fiumara, Andy Gerardo, Peter LaPlaca, Johnny Lardiere, Ernest Lazzara, Paul Lombardino, Tony Marchitto, Salvatore Moretti, Tony Russo, John Russo, Charles Tourine, and Ralph Vicaro. Possible members, Angelo Chieppa, and Thomas DePhillips. Three made members transferred to Jerry Catena crew, first names only Angelo, Jimmy, and Vincent.
Furio, you ever wonder his info is so specific? It’s cause he makes it up. Go ahead and ask him for sources. He can’t provide any.

Eboli have you any more info on Doto jr ive looked and cant seem to find much.
He's a bit like Paulie Walnuts - first, he was in the army, then he was in the can. :lol:
He's not an intriguing figure, like most kids of legendary mobsters that decide to follow up in their father's footsteps. Here are my bullet notes on him:

- born in 1933
- lived most of his life in Fort Lee and Palisades Park, Bergen County
- enlisted in the army before his father was deported and honorably discharged
- 'worked' as a bank robber, truck hijacker, enforcer early on
- married a non-Italian woman in the 1960s
- according to Joe Zicarelli, Doto Jr. was groomed for an important position in LCN, but it didn't pan out
- indicted in 1975 for gambling, loansharking, and bribing a cop
- made soon after the books were opened in the 1970s in the crew of Peter LaPlaca and Lou Gatto afterward
- indicted in 1985 as the mastermind of a multi-million burglary ring
- active throughout NJ: Bergen, Morris, Camden, Rockland, Ocean counties
- some gambling operations in NY
- spent over 15 years in the can

Posted his 1975 mugshot in the mugshot section.
Many thanks eboli
